It was launched in April 2005 as a comprehensive news service, about two months after Bulbapedia was opened to the public, but did not get the same attention Bulbapedia did. Bulbanews was subsequently relaunched as your community Pokémon newspaper on February 27, 2006, the 10th anniversary of the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green Versions — in addition to reporting news regarding the Pokémon canon, it would also publish columns and editorials, as well as news from the Pokémon community.
